Chapter Eighty-Five: Just Laugh
Wen Xiang soon met the legendary uncle.
On the eve of Concubine Yi's surgery, Song Nanzhou arranged for them to meet for the first time.
Before Wen Xiang met, she had a lot of anxiety and expectations, she didn't sleep well all night, and the next day she had two dark circles under her eyes, but she was still in good spirits.
Xu Shen couldn't go out, so he arranged for a nursing home to send her over.
The place where they met was after Wen Xiang became an old abbot, and Song Nanzhou arranged a place for her to live.
Last time, Wen Xiang became an old abbot, and the panic of being robbed had not passed, so she was not in the mood to look at where she lived. This time she was about to meet her long-awaited uncle, and Wen Xiang was also in no mood to look at what kind of place it was.
The silence was real, Wen Xiang got out of the carriage, the alley was quiet, and no one heard a voice.
Qingluan was waiting at the door, and when she saw her getting out of the car, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her - she hadn't seen Wen Xiang's true face, so she didn't know that the girl in front of her was the old abbot who behaved strangely and loved candy in her eyes.
"Girl, my master is waiting for you inside." Qingluan glanced at the maid who was following Wen Xiang: "The master has ordered, the girl can go in alone." ”
The nursing homes of the Xu Mansion were instructed by Xu Shen to ensure Wen Xiang's safety, so they were very dissatisfied when they heard the words, and asked to follow up.
Wen Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay, this Qingluan girl is very powerful, with her, don't worry about my safety." You are waiting for me outside, and I will explain to Xu Xiang when I go back, you are conscientious and have never slackened. ”
Qingluan glanced up at Wen Xiang in surprise, obviously not quite understanding, how could this girl who met for the first time know her name, and still know that she is very powerful?
Could it be that the prince told her?
But how could the prince tell her about her insignificant secret guard?
Qingluan led Wen Xiang into the door, and Song Nanzhou was waiting for her at the second gate. Seeing her coming, her eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of her lips curled unconsciously.
She wore a light pink blouse with a dark blue crepe skirt underneath, unlike other women in Kyoto who like to wear gold and jade bracelets on her wrists, she wore a string of emerald green jasper, which lined her white wrists very beautifully.
Her face was as bright as jade, and the red cherry blossoms under her eyes became more and more red, and the plain white was a little more colorful, and the thin white face became more and more delicate and charming.
But I haven't seen each other for a short time, but I always feel like a long, long time has passed.
He couldn't help but rush forward and take her hand.
Wen Xiang also looked at Song Nanzhou, who was long and did not wear work clothes, but wore a royal blue embroidered moire satin robe. The placket and cuffs are intricately embroidered with gold thread. A black hair is tied up on the top of his head, and he is buttoned with a three-finger-wide sapphire red gold crown, which makes it even more handsome, like a god's mansion.
This man really likes her.
Wen Xiang was a little proud and a little sad.
But she was destined to not be able to respond to him.
"I have some things to arrange in the past two days, and I don't have time to see you, but I'm angry?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Song Nanzhou asked her softly.
"Nope." Wen Xiang wanted to withdraw her hand, but when she heard what he said, she somehow couldn't be hard-hearted.
Seeing that Song Nanzhou was still looking at her, Wen Xiang hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "I know you are very busy, I don't care, my eldest brother has always taken care of me." ”
Song Nanzhou laughed: "I know that Xu Shen takes good care of you, otherwise I wouldn't want to put you on his side temporarily." But—"
He paused, lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Wen Xiang's thin white fingers, and said casually: "It's just not good, he is too indulgent of you." ”
Wen Xiang's heart jumped, "You...... How do you say that? ”
She was inexplicably weak-hearted, her eyes flickered unconsciously, and she didn't dare to look at Song Nanzhou's eyes, but she forced herself to look to see if he really knew about Xu Shen helping her get a household registration.
Song Nanzhou pinched her fingers and said with a smile: "However, it's not a big deal. ”
He said it again.
Wen Xiang became more and more uneasy in the clouds, what he meant by this, did he know it or not?
Song Nanzhou didn't elaborate anymore, and quickly changed the topic: "When you see Uncle Shi in a while, you have to be a little mentally prepared, he is ......."
He paused, as if deliberating on what words to use to describe him.
Wen Xiang's attention was really diverted by him, and he asked with some worry: "Is it difficult to get along?" ”
"Not really." It's not a question of getting along well or not at all, "You'll know when we see you in a while." ”
What? Half of these words were left in half, which made Wen Xiang, who was looking forward to meeting, unable to jump.
The place where they met was a flower hall, Wen Xiang and Song Nanzhou went over together, and saw that the door was open, and a figure was standing in front of a wall with his hands in his hands, seemingly looking at calligraphy and painting very seriously.
This man was dressed in royal blue straight, with a handsome face, and he looked very energetic, and he calmly studied the paintings on the wall, which made him look very reliable.
Wen Xiang's heart was half let go first, with such a reliable partner, the road ahead shouldn't be too difficult.
As it turned out, she was really ...... It's too early to rest assured!
……
"You're Wen Xiang, aren't you? The little girl is so good-looking, these eyes are eyes, and the nose is nose, why is it better than other women? The little girl is so good, if this is in our place, with the appearance of the little girl, what kind of otaku gods and goddesses, national goddesses, then there must be a lot of fans. ”
"I heard that the little girl has always wanted to see me? That's right, I am the uncle of Song's nephew, my name is ...... Ahem, it's been a long time since I've introduced myself, so I'm a little nervous. Little girl, let's shake hands solemnly, hello, I'm Zheng Duoshan, many mountains, many mountains. ”
"That's right, that's what you think, little girl. My name is mountainous, because my mother gave birth to me in a place with many mountains, isn't it special and memorable? If you want to say that my mother is also a genius in choosing names, do you know what my brother's name is? ”
Wen Xiang was warmly held by him, and she didn't react for a long time - the man in front of her who looked like a convulsive and smiling lewdly, was really the uncle she thought was very reliable just now?
Isn't this image too subversive, dear!
At this time, seeing Zheng Duoshan looking at her enthusiastically and expectantly, as if waiting for her answer, the little face that was struck and split by lightning was dazed, his small mouth opened, and he subconsciously said: "...... Zheng Duoshui? ”
"Oh, little girl, what a confidant! Come on, let's sit down and talk! Zheng Duoshan slapped his thigh, pulled Wen Xiang to sit down, his eyes were shining, "How did you guess it?" What a clever little girl. That's right, when my mother gave birth to my brother, it was by a big river, and there was a lot of water in the big river. Look at my house, the mountains also have water, isn't it interesting? ”
Wen Xiang pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, and said tremblingly, "Yes...... It's kind of interesting. ”
She looked at Song Nanzhou, who was holding her arms and smiling sullenly: What's the matter with your uncle? How could it be like this? Hurry up and help me.
Song Nanzhou actually understood, but he gave her a helpless look. He had already reminded her not to be too optimistic, his uncle, who had convulsions from time to time, really had a good ability to drive people crazy.
As if it was a very happy thing to get Wen Xiang's affirmation, Zheng Duoshan rubbed his hands and laughed: "I'm so happy to see the little girl in this ghost place." ”
After speaking, he looked at Wen Xiang with those enthusiastic eyes.
Wen Xiang had no choice but to say, "I'm also very happy to see Uncle Shi here." ”
"Hey, you're not from Jiuli Mountain, what kind of uncle is so outside, you can call me Brother Zheng or Uncle Zheng."
But he clearly accentuated the tone of the word "Brother Zheng".
Wen Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, and just wanted to call "Brother Zheng" according to his words, but Song Nanzhou grabbed in front of her and said: "Uncle Zheng." ”
Wen Xiang and Zheng Duoshan both didn't come back to their senses a little.
"What's the matter with you kid? Lao Tzu was called Uncle by one or two of you, and he called me old for nothing. The little girl is willing to call me brother, what's in the way of you? What's in your way? ”
Song Nanzhou ignored his jumping feet, and only looked at Wen Xiang: "Call him uncle." ”
He looked insistent.
Wen Xiang, who had an inexplicable face, suddenly realized - his name is Uncle Zheng Duoshan, if she calls him Brother Zheng, wouldn't she be a generation higher than him?
Thinking of this, Wen Xiang showed him a sweet and well-behaved smile.
This smile was like a flower, and Song Nanzhou couldn't help but feel refreshed. But then, he had a bad premonition -
Sure enough, as soon as Wen Xiang turned her head, she shouted sweetly to Zheng Duoshan: "Brother Zheng! ”
"Oops, hey." Zheng Duoshan hurriedly agreed, and the tail of his smiling eyes were full of folds, like a flower.
While agreeing, he proudly went to see Song Nanzhou.
Song Nanzhou looked helpless, wanting to glare at Wen Xiang and touch her triumphant smile, but he still couldn't get annoyed.
"The little girl is so sensible. Pity such a good little girl, how did she end up like this? This is really ill-fated - when you meet me, the cold-faced and heartless Song nephew again, you will be bullied by him a lot, and your life will be a little bitter. ”
He was so moved that he began to wipe his eyes.
Wen Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, looking at the handsome face of the disgusted Song Nanzhou, who was as black as the bottom of the pot, and the corners of his mouth that kept twitching, Wen Xiang couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Actually, the prince is very good and has helped me a lot." She defended Song Nanzhou like a ghost.
Although it is true that she has bullied her, she is generous and warm, and she is willing to forgive him.
Looking at Song Nanzhou again, the corners of his pursed lips slowly loosened, and he smiled at Wen Xiang.
That smile is like a spring breeze thawing, and his face is like a spring flower, no matter how hard-hearted he is, I am afraid that he will melt into his smile.
Wen Xiang didn't dare to look at it more.
"Really?" Zheng Duoshan looked at her suspiciously, and his appearance was clearly saying, "Is there something wrong with your eyes", "Will he still help others?" This is really a strange thing, in the past, on Jiuli Mountain, I asked this kid to bring me a herb back, but he refused! ”
As he spoke, he glared at Song Nanzhou with a condemning gaze.
Song Nanzhou didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he saw Wen Xiang also looking at it, he felt that it was necessary to distinguish for himself, "The herb you want to bring by the way grows on a cliff ten thousand feet high, and I am not at ease." ”
"Look, you see, he still dares to talk back!" Zheng Duoshan turned his head and complained to Wen Xiang: "I'm his uncle, he is like this to me, do you say you can't be angry?" ”
Wen Xiang thinks that being a man should be sincere. According to her thoughts, she also felt that Song Nanzhou was actually right, and of course she couldn't agree casually if she couldn't help. But Zheng Duoshan was looking at her expectantly, hoping that she would share the same enemy with him, and Wen Xiang was in a dilemma for a while.
"Its ...... In fact, I also think ......" Wen Xiang saw that he was about to show a disappointed look, the corners of his mouth twitched, it was a crying look, Wen Xiang's scalp suddenly went numb, "I also feel very angry!" ”
Wen Xiang said categorically and indignantly.
Mom, I'm so tired, why can't this uncle's brain circuit be normal? Could it be that life here and the pressure of not being able to go back made him like this?
Will she become like this in the future?
Zheng Duoshan got Wen Xiang's support, and his crying face changed into a smile in a second: "The little girl is really good, not bad." ”
Wen Xiang decided to seize the initiative in his own hands, and he couldn't let him pull it off anymore, otherwise, who knows how long it would take to get down to business.
"Brother Zheng, you came here before me, and you can be regarded as my senior. I don't know if you've found any valuable clues or messages to share over the years? She asked, hurrying to the moment.
Zheng Duoshan lowered his face in frustration, and scratched his hair irritably, and the hair that was originally combed well was scratched into a mess by him a few times, "Alas, don't mention it!" I went to the west and zang this time, and I met their wizards. What kind of wizard, it turned out to be a liar who was deceived and cheated, and he cheated me out of five taels of silver. ”
Wen Xiang's heart moved: "You went to the Western Regions?" ”
Zheng Duoshan nodded: "That's right, it's called the Western Regions here, and in our geographical category, that is, West and Zang." It's said that there are a lot of mysterious events, savages or something, I really want to look for it, but it's too dangerous, I've considered and considered, and I've thought and thought, and I can't accept that I go to be a husband to a wild man, and have another little hairy savage or something, so I'll turn around again. ”
Wen Xiang: "...... Hehe. ”
I don't know why, I always feel that I should breathe a sigh of relief for the savages.
……
After communicating with Zheng Duoshan, the result was: no play.
He traveled a lot of places, and as soon as he heard that there were great capable people and something mysterious and important where there was something amazing, he hurried and ran over, but he traveled all over the north and south of the river, and he didn't let him find a way to go back.
In the end, Zheng Duoshan cried and said, "This is fate!" This is the fate of the two of us, little girl, the lives of the two of us poor people! ”
When he cried, Wen Xiang wanted to cry too. This Zheng Duoshan has been a young and handsome young man to a middle-aged uncle who is chattering, and he has been stumbling for so many years, but he has not been able to find a way to go back.
Her ambition to travel before she was immediately hit - why did she think that if Zheng Duoshan couldn't find it, she would definitely be able to find it?
"China and the country have a population of 1.3 billion, and the world has a population of more than 7 billion, why are the two of us particularly unlucky? Those who have black hearts, great evils, and extermination of humanity, why don't they be unlucky? Why are we the ones? ”
Wen Xiang also wanted to ask, why is it her?
Maybe Zheng Duoshan has been depressed for too long, and when he met Wen Xiang, a fallen person from the end of the world, he couldn't stop pouring out the bitter water in his heart.
"The two of us really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes to fall into such a ghost place. Little girl, you don't know, I really dream of cursing the thief, I, Zheng Duoshan, have not shown favoritism, have not bent the law, have not embezzled, and have not taken bribes......"
After listening to it for a long time, Song Nanzhou couldn't bear it: "Do you have the innate conditions for bending the law for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery?" ”
Zheng Duoshan choked, he didn't have that innate condition, but-"Even if I have that condition, I will never do anything that is sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth!" ”
Song Nanzhou ruthlessly exposed him: "You were still cursing God just now." ”
Zheng Duoshan: "......"
Wen Xiang looked at Zheng Duoshan's angry and distorted face, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
As soon as she laughed, she knew that it was not good, and sure enough, Zheng Duoshan's fiery eyes, which were still staring at Song Nanzhou silently condemning, turned to her suddenly, but this time, he used a complaining look.
"Little girl, little girl, why are you still smiling? We've all fallen into this miserable realm, how can you laugh? Did this kid Song Nanzhou teach you badly? It had to be him! As he spoke, he angrily reprimanded Song Nanzhou with his eyes.
"I just think that crying is a day, laughing is also a day, and it's not good to cry and cry all day long." Wen Xiang said: "God picked us and brought us here, maybe he just wanted to see us cry." If I don't cry, I want to laugh, and I like to laugh, so laugh. ”
Zheng Duoshan was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight, this time he no longer had those exaggerated expressions on his face, and his expression became calm, just like Zheng Duoshan, who was like a dancing god with rich body language just now.
Wen Xiang was shocked, what is the situation?
Uncle Zheng Duoshan, is he really fine?
"Very well, little girl." Zheng Duoshan stretched out his hand to her with a solemn face and said, "You have passed my test for you, you will be my partner in the future, and we will find a way home together!" ”
Wen Xiang stretched out her hand to shake hands with him, and asked in confusion: "Test, test?" ”
Did he test her? When? What is the test for her?
Wen Xiang was completely confused, so she had to look at Song Nanzhou for help.
Before Song Nanzhou could speak, Zheng Duoshan, who had already let go of Wen Xiang's hand, said with a serious face: "Judging from the test I just had, Xiao Wen Xiang, you have a good mentality. If we don't have a good attitude, it will be easy to collapse over time. You see, I've been looking for more than ten years, and I'm still full of hope, although I also know that it's very slim. However, I have never despaired, and it is this slim hope that has kept me up to now—"
"But little Wenxiang, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for your presence, I might have given up hope at this moment. Just as I was leaving Xi and Zang, I almost broke the jar. If Song Nanzhou hadn't sent someone to watch him, he would have jumped off the unnamed mountain at that time.
After looking for so long, people will despair.
He met Wen Xiang in this desperate moment.
When he heard from Song Nanzhou that there was another girl like him, maybe from the same place, he was so excited that he almost didn't faint.
The feeling of "finally finding the same kind" made him burst into tears immediately.
Wen Xiang was suddenly very moved.
Zheng Duoshan has been looking for so many years and has not given up, and he was about to give up, but he met her again, which made him hope again. Wen Xiang couldn't help but be ambitious in her heart: "Brother Zheng, let's work together, we will definitely be able to find our way back!" ”
The two hands are clasped together!
"Come on, come on, come on!"
Song Nanzhou originally wanted to laugh, but now, where can he still laugh.
He looked at the two people in front of him with deep eyes, watching them clasp together tightly and cheering, and suddenly felt like he was lifting a stone and hitting his own feet.
He originally brought Wen Xiang to see Zheng Duoshan, but he wanted her to give up, let her know how difficult the way back was, and let her know that Zheng Duoshan had been looking for so many years and had no way, so he wanted her to retreat.
Unexpectedly, she did not retreat from the difficulties, but rose to the occasion.
At this moment, his mood was really complicated.
……
The meeting between Wen Xiang and Zheng Duoshan lasted all day, and the two exchanged their basic information, trying to find out the similarities and differences.
Zheng Duoshan said that when he went to the township hospital for medical support, he encountered a vicious murder absconder halfway through. After the man pretended to be sick and deceived them, he drove all the medical personnel out of the car with a knife and fled. The group had to walk on the steep mountain road one foot deep and one foot shallow, and if one was not careful, he fell down.
I thought I was going to break him to pieces, but I didn't expect to wake up and see that he was hanging from the trunk of a tree. Then, he desperately shouted for help, and after shouting for a long time, he saw a person flying towards him like a bird, and the person who saved him was the head of Jiuli Mountain.
Zheng Duoshan thought that what happened to him could be regarded as surprising and thrilling, and when he heard what happened to Wen Xiang, he was amazed for a long time, and muttered while watching Wen Xiang, "This is really, it sounds like a soul piercing, but why did it get into the wrench?" Amazing, amazing! ”
In the end, it was concluded that the crossing of the two had nothing in common at all.
"In other words, when you're in the wrench, you have the same perspective as X-rays, and you can become whoever you want to be with your mind?" Obviously, Zheng Duoshan's interest in studying Wen Xiang has surpassed finding a way home, "Isn't that the same as Sun Wukong?" ”
"Sun Wukong can turn into flowers and grass, flies and mosquitoes, I don't have that ability." Wen Xiang couldn't cry or laugh: "Besides, I don't have a golden hoop stick!" ”
"But you have a wrench!"
"But the wrench is broken!"
"Well, that's just as well." Zheng Duoshan bit his fingers and groaned, "Then now, can you still use your telekinesis to transform?" ”
"I can't."
"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Zheng Duoshan patted his thigh regretfully, "Why didn't I come to Beijing earlier, otherwise I would have seen it with my own eyes!" ”
